Our NL Only 5x5 Keeper League has just had a few owners drop out in the last month orso. League is mostly New York and Philly guys - thedraft is usually held at one city or the other. Phoningin is always an option, but it's usually a relatively longday. Cost is $200 plus web administration fee(CBS Sportsline) amounting to $240 or so. There'smodest payouts for the top 4 guys. There have historically been 12 teams. The league has been in existence for just over 20 years.

There's also a round of 10 "Ultra" picks after theauction which allows for players in the minors to be selected. Each team has a total of $273 to spend among23 players (9 pitchers, 5 OFs, 2 catchers, 1 Utility,1 Corner Infielder, 1 Middle Infielder, 1 shortstop, 13B, 1 2B, and 1 1B).

After being in the league for 2 years, playercontracts can be upped either $5 for one year or $10 for2 years.

There is free agent bidding once a month with a totalof $50 for the season. Players who switch leaguesgive the owner their contract dollars back in the freeagent bidding (provided they have someone to replacethem). As such, there would be opportunity to have more than $50 to spend.

There is a limit of 6 free moves per year for ineffective play. There's unlimited moves for DL moves, trades, and being sent to the minors.

Player eligibility based on 20 games played at a position the year before or any game during the current season.
